I hope this thread might help you, this is a life changer, and the majority of times is like I said (everything has exceptions to the rules). European thematic based novels: Light hair MC -> Dark hair ML Dark hair MC -> Light hair ML Blonde hair MC -> Silver/white hair or Dark hair ML Silver hair MC -> Blonde hair or Dark hair ML Dark hair MC -> Blonde hair or Silver/white hair ML Pink/Brown/Red MC -> Blonde hair , Silver/white hair or Black hair ML Dark Purple -> Blonde hair or Silver/white hair ML Light Purple -> Blonde hair , Silver/white hair or Black hair ML Dad/guardian has black/dark hair, the ML will mostly have light hair, no matter if MC has light hair too. Asian/shogun thematic based novels: Dark hair MC -> Silver/white hair or black hair ML Office thematic based novels: Black hair MC -> Brown hair ML sometimes blonde hair ML Brown hair MC -> Black hair ML sometimes blonde hair ML
Reading this gives me the feeling that the creators have unconsciously colour-coded the major characters in KR romances and the OP might have somehow, inexplicably, cracked the code they didn't know they had.
You can always do the proof, when I found it, I was like wtf, it's like this,exactly like this, of course, I didn't suddenly come up with the hair color logic, it's something I found out to be true after finding out like maybe around 300 to 500 MLs of the novels/manwha/manga. Logic doesn't apply with pink, red or brown MCs, with them, Blonde, Silver/white and Dark hair MLs have 33% chances of being the ML. Dark purple is mostly for light hair MLs, with light purple, black hair MLs have more chances. Idk if it's unconsciously, this is my schizophrenia going to far, but I think it's intentional.
Surprised how it's almost accurate— Recently I read a CN novel, where the ML had yellow dyed hair, which is so rare to happen in CN novels. The ML later dyed his hair to blue (?). It's a pity the novel didn't mentioned his real hair colour ( must be black or brown ).
I'm glad some of you can find this thread useful, I know I'm hoping for too much, but I wish this thread becomes like a guide for those who want to accurately know who is the ML. I read an harem manhua (shogun thematic) where the MC had dark blue hair, the author, who is an idiot, decided for some well unexplained reason, to change his hair color to white, basically because MC liked characters like Gojo from jujutsu kaisen or Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul, and so, he loved white hair
Yep! I did found the thread helpful and interesting Lmaoo, so most silly authors are avid fans of anime and mostly kaneki? Sksksks, indeed what a choice
It was your generic harem shogun manhua, were nothing makes sense and it's mostly dumb comedy to kill some time (they also have random super powers and dumb villains), I followed it because MC had dark blue hair, then he suddenly raged and power up and got his white hair for no reason, but yeah, he thought, how cool, I'm like this shounen character. If I found the manhua, I will post it.
Naurr, I would think the same like the OP MC become more OP and he had a sort of change of power level and boom his hair got changed ( fck this reminded me of frozen ) it's a Pokemon evolution shit FR FR. Sure.
I'm still wondering the logic behind Tokyo Ghoul, it was fine at first, because they explained that his hair turned white due to the stress, but when he became Haise Sasaki, his hair turned back to black, which is normal because he didn't have any stress (this was explained by the author), funny thing is that he later return to his white hair color due to the torture of another villain, but at the end of the story, he still had white hair (even thought he didn't have anymore stress on him), and what is more random, is that their daughter had light hair, when none of them had light hair, or at least it's not their Og color...
Lmaoooooo, this is so accurate— I remember asking the same question to one of weeb friends. The answer I got you say? They are OP so no logic needed. — maybe the Overload stress , made his hair never turn back to its original form. The daughter thing is too random, imagining if my Bioscience can unlock the answer to it. Lol.
Exactly, I'm not asking any logic because it's a shounen, but the daughter thing was just too much...
